W-409

That Rat Rod is FINISHED, and I'll post in on Under Glass section soon... Thanks for all of you, who have posted comments to this build. And next Hot Rod project will be in "Cars Of Rock 'n' Roll And Country Music" CBP. Thanks for following, other projects in this thread are keeping this topic still alive. (Hopefully)

Gloss black of course, semigloss or matt black just doesn't fit. Nice project anyway, I'd like to see it with 15" wheels, but those aren't the worst ones, I've seen. Keep on the good work.

It would be great idea to make those from aluminium. Chris, those pictures would be great. I must get some 1/24 scale bolts, photoetch, of course. Maybe scratchbuilding them is bit hard... Thanks, Both!

WOW, this is really nice build! I like Gassers and other Nostalgic Drag Cars. This one is really nice. Stance looks good, and I like the wheel and tire combo. Paintjob is great too. I built also '57 Nomad Gasser about an year ago, and it was fun build.

Great job with it. I like these pictures alot, they look like 50 years old, maybe colors make them look like it. I like the two tone paintjob you've done, and engine looks very good, detailing is great.

Great thanks to Chris who sent me the pictures, they really help, thanks alot! Now I have first two parts without paint. I must clean up them a bit. Body is almost without paint from the underside, that copper paint is still on. But not too long, hopefully.

You all know the CAMARO CUP, don't you? We had it in the 80's here in Finland. Here is a video about it, it's the same track, as in my pictures. Track is called Ahvenisto, and this video is taken in 1984! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9dgab_ahvenisto-track-1984-camaro-cup_auto Now we have that Camaro Cup again, next year needs to be there watching it. The car in that picture was racing in the Camaro Cup. Driver was Robert Lappalainen and he is dominating in that video above (red car). Then that Camaro is built to Roadsport V8.

Oh, I didn't know that. But my idea is to install 409 engine to '32 Ford 3 Window Coupe. Maybe with some NOSTALGIC speed parts, or then just Offenhauser style valve covers.... I'm not 100% sure, but it will be nostalgic Hot Rod. Thanks.

Looks like Japanese people can build models very nicely too. I haven't seen any Japanese build, or then I just haven't noticed that builder really is from Japan. Great job.

I can't understand, how you can make that kind of opening door... Amazing talents. I'm in trouble if I have to make opening doors without that kind of door lock... Amazing job on this, I can't wait to see more.

That looks super nice on those mock up pictures! I like this project very much, detail work and scratchbuilding is at amazing level. Hopefully I can build something this nicely after 40 years of practising... That Monza FC looks very good too. Great, two Army Funny Cars and both H-Bodies.

WOW, this is absolutely AMAZING!!! Those little details make it look really realistic. Truly amazing job, I don't know what to say about it.

This is the last update before Under Glass post. It's now on four wheels. Those tires are from my parts box, and wheels are resin, as I said. Front axle is scratchbuilt from brass. Also fuel tank is installed, fuel line on its place, some carburetor detailing done, installed the air cleaner, grille sectioned, painted and installed, headlights on, brake master cylinder on...... Still lots of things to do, brake lines, steering wheel, painting etc. But tomorrow it needs to be finished for the local Model car show, on saturday. Thanks for looking. No burning rubber with this one...

More Finnish Historic racers... In this picture, BMW is coming almost sideways, it started raining and road was slippy... And it's coming almost sideways, about 150 km/h...

More Finnish Historic Racers...

More of them.....

Well, here are some Historic Racers from FINLAND!!!

That's bad, there comes No NASCAR from TV :angry: Only there comes from canals, you have to pay for...

Nice Challenger. This is something rarely seen, '71 model. Nice job with that paintjob and decals. Engine bay looks very good too, detailing is great. Nice job as always...

WOW, this is very nice build combo!!! Personally I don't like pro Touring cars at all, but this one is so nicely done, that it looks good. Color fits nicely and it's very clean build overall. Great to see Plymuoth Volare, that is something, I'd like to build also. Dodge Ram looks very good too.

GREAT to see two '60 Chevrolets there! Is that panel wagon some kind of resin? I have Jimmy Flintstone's '60 Nomad body. Can't wait to see more work with them. And yes, make a photobucket account, it's easy and free of course.

Oh, you make these modifications look so easy.... Great job with it, and I'm looking forward to see this completed. I haven't seen HotRods from your bench, so this is very interesting. Keep on the good work.

Leave them like that, now they are looking really wild, and that's great! Great build, color fits perfectly. I haven't seen enough these Drag Race Hot Rods.

Wheels and front axle painted. I have no picture of that front axle, but tomorrow I get it installed, then comes a picture from it. But anyway, the wheels are here, they are resin parts (I didn't cast them, I could not do that nice job with them.)

Hey Jim, if it's not too late, I'd like to jump in with another project... No one has song 409 from Beach Boys? So I'd like to jump in with: '32 Ford 409 the song is of course Beach Boys - 409 If it's not too late. ...And oh, here are the lyrics. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beach+boys/409_20013984.html
